Diabetes Remission After Bariatric Surgery: A 10-Year Follow-Up Study.

Introduction: Treatment of type 2 diabetes (T2DM) in patients with obesity can be challenging. Metabolic and bariatric surgery (MBS) has shown promising results in improving glycemic control and even achieving remission in T2DM patients with obesity. However, the durability of glycemic improvements in T2DM patients following MBS remains insufficiently studied.

Satisfying basic psychological needs through a recreational sports programme for people with intellectual disability: human growth and adapted sport in focus.

Introduction: Self-determination theory (SDT) highlights the importance of satisfying people's basic psychological needs (BPN) (autonomy, competence and relatedness) in order to ensure their personal growth and wellbeing. In this regard, sport and physical activity (PA) have been shown to offer significant health benefits, particularly in the case of people with intellectual disability (ID), among whom the benefits are even more noticeable owing to their low levels of PA, sedentary lifestyle, limited opportunities to exercise, and consequently lower quality of life. The aim of this study is to assess the impact of the Más Que Tenis ("More Than Just Tennis") inclusive recreational sports programme on the satisfaction of BPN among athletes with ID, taking into account factors such as age, gender and type of activity.

Protective role of 3-mercaptopyruvate sulfurtransferase (MPST) in the development of metabolic syndrome and vascular inflammation.

Metabolic syndrome (MetS) is a cluster of metabolic abnormalities that occur concurrently and increase the risk of cardiovascular disease. 3-mercaptopyruvate sulfurtransferase (MPST) is a cysteine-catabolizing enzyme that yields pyruvate and hydrogen sulfide (HS) and plays a central role in the regulation of energy homeostasis. Herein, we seek to investigate the role of MPST/HS in MetS and its cardiovascular consequences using a mouse model of the disease.

High glucose potentiates Zika virus induced-astroglial dysfunctions.

Zika virus (ZIKV) is a neurotropic flavivirus that induces congenital Zika syndrome and neurodevelopmental disorders. Given that ZIKV can infect and replicate in neural cells, neurological complications in adult brain are also observed. Glial cells may emerge to delay and/or prevent the development of ZIKV-induced neurodegeneration.

Upper limb salvage with massive intercalary allograft for humeral chondrosarcoma.

Introduction: chondrosarcoma is a high-grade malignant tumor composed of mesenchymal cells with cartilage differentiation. It most frequently appears in the bones of the pelvis, the femur, and the humerus. The main management method is oncological resection with wide margins and function-preserving reconstruction.
